I'd second Kurts thought about the gas. I would drain the tank and put a fuel line hose from the intake of the fuel pump into a gas can with fresh fuel thru a drilled rubber stopper with a vent on the can and try that. Also, when I cleaned the tank of my '56, the crud in there was truly hazardous waste. as well, the carb could be gummed up after sitting so long.

Well, my time went so quickly,
I went lickety-splitly
Out to my ol' 55.
As I pulled away slowly,
Feelin' so holy,
God knows, I was feelin' alive..... Tom Waits, Ol' 55
